The local climate is one of the main things that influences how much water will need to be applied to maintain good plant growth. The plant water requirement includes the water lost by transpiration and evaporation.

CONT

Plant Water Requirement. The type of plants selected, their age and size, and how closely together they are planted all affect how much water is required to maintain a healthy landscape. Because rainfall is scarce in arid regions, it is best to select plants with low water requirements and control planting densities to reduce overall water need. Native plants are well-adapted to seasonal, short-lived water supplies, and most desert-adapted plants can tolerate drought, making them good choices for landscape planting.
